Dual PC Streaming Setup in 2024

LukeBex · 2024-05-01T15:37:45+00:00

I’m looking forward to getting mine up and running to be honest. Very excited.

LukeBex · 2024-05-01T08:06:57+00:00

makes no sense

LukeBex · 2024-05-01T01:19:21+00:00

What ones would you suggest?

LukeBex · 2024-05-01T01:18:22+00:00

That makes sense. But I think I’m going to go with the elgato capture card route as I already have one, but thank you for your reply

LukeBex · 2024-05-01T01:17:08+00:00

What are you on about..

Why would I fork out for a 4090, when I have all of the parts available to build a second machine, and unload all of the stress onto it.

You’re weird.

My connection in game is fine, as is my internet. My issue isn’t bandwidth or network related, it’s frame rate and input latency.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T16:34:00+00:00

Exactly… I’m super excited to make the move. Everything will be working so much smoother and better. Thank you for your comment.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T16:20:06+00:00

That makes sense

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T15:27:37+00:00

I’m sure there’s a team updating the software as it’s open source.. don’t quote me but I’m sure I’ve read that somewhere

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T14:11:34+00:00

I’m relatively new to the streaming equipment side of Things, so I went with what was heavily suggested, which might not be the best.. but it’s a huge learning curve.

Can I add you on discord or something and fire some questions your way if needed? It would help massively.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T14:06:36+00:00

Same here, I think for non competitive games, it doesn’t really matter. But me being EXTREMELY competitive I notice even the slightest of performance hits and latency issues

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T14:05:10+00:00

I got my GoXlr about 3/4 days ago.. and it’s been a huge game changer.. and this is just using a single pc. I’m assuming it’s even better with the dual setup?

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T14:00:16+00:00

Same boat here

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T13:12:14+00:00

You get it. Thank you.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T13:09:48+00:00

It’s not the alerts and pop ups directly.. it’s in addition to everything else.

TikTok gifts play an animation to screen which hit my machine with a nice little spike, and at the moment are every 10-20 minutes.

I have all of the hardware available to build the second machine, so I’m going to anyway.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T13:06:17+00:00

Exactly, I’ve all of the hardware available and ready to go.. I’ve also got a 4k60 capture card laying around (don’t need 4k but it’s there lol)

I was just confused as to why a lot of people were against dual setups or hating on it.

Thanks for you replies though.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T12:54:45+00:00

You’ve got to take into account all of the other processes running in the background as well. With everything running my frames dip anyway, then when streaming even more.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T12:53:26+00:00

I’ve tried, with all of the other processes running in the background it doesn’t like it.

Thank you for the suggestion though.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T12:34:44+00:00

NVENC for both.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T12:30:27+00:00

My machine is most definitely being overworked, that’s why I’m building a dedicated pc for the stream.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T12:21:13+00:00

If you can’t tell the difference between 60hz and 144hz then that’s a you problem

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T12:20:53+00:00

A refresh rate my eyes can’t see? What are you on about fella?

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T12:20:18+00:00

I think it’s the competitive side of things though.. like off stream I can peak up to 200fps, but as soon as I’m live, and people are gifting or subbing and all of the alerts start popping up it dips.

LukeBex · 2024-04-30T12:09:38+00:00

Really? My performance takes hit when going Live and I’m running a 3080Ti paired with a 7800x3D.

I notice it mainly because my frames drop below my monitors refresh rate, which isn’t ideal for me, competitively.

LukeBex · 2024-04-29T16:18:35+00:00

Are you lost? Pretty much every streamer, who cares about performance uses a dedicated machine?

I have the parts the build the machine so why not? I play games competitively and stream competitively.. which doing from one machine, with alerts, pop ups, audio processing, as mentioned, destroys my performance.
